[ halfway through that-- ]

It's not up for debate!

[suckingly]

Well, that does make it more difficult, doesn't it.

[vitainmorte]

Start thinking about what makes you important to me.

NOT your body. Besides that.

[suckingly]

. . .





But

[vitainmorte]

I promise I like you for more than just how good you fuck.

[suckingly]

. . . you really need to adjust.

[vitainmorte]

What's that supposed to mean?

[suckingly]

Use your energy on someone who gives back more, you know?

[vitainmorte]

[ bristles, a bit. ]

What, trying to chase me off?

[suckingly]

I'm just being logical.

[vitainmorte]

... I'm not asking you to love me or anything so what exactly do you think I'm failing to get from you?

[suckingly]

. . . are you looking for someone to love you? It's true that you can't get that from me, but that's more of a who I am than who you are thing.

[vitainmorte]

Boy I sure fucking wish people would stop "it's not you it's me"-ing me when I'm NOT EVEN ASKING THEM FOR COMMITMENT.

[suckingly]

I didn't say anything about commitment.

[vitainmorte]

Love is a commitment to me! I'm not asking you for that, that's all I'm saying!

[suckingly]

And since you're not asking me for it, then I don't see the problem. . .

[vitainmorte]

Right. So what exactly do you think I'm not getting from you?

We're friends. I'm happy like that and I enjoy being around you. I don't need you to "give back more."

[suckingly]

Ah, but see, weren't we talking of value.

[vitainmorte]

I value you without receiving anything. You idiot.

[suckingly]

I am an idiot.

[vitainmorte]

You are.

[ Fond, exasperated. ]

... So let's find something equal to give up. I know there's stuff you're capable of that you have to value, yourself.

[suckingly]

I am not giving up my good looks or my sex appeal.

[vitainmorte]

Sex appeal is subjective. Give up your libido. If it's important enough it'll only be for a day anyway.

[suckingly]

I'm telling you whatever 'permanence' is has got to be better to give up than my libido.

[vitainmorte]

Who are you even fucking here besides me right now.

Go fill out the stupid thing.
